Quote of the week

David Cameron on whether The Thick of It accurately represents the Conservative publicity machine: "I love The Thick of It. V funny... but only true about the other lot (not)."

Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

We stayed in one of the town houses, away from the main hotel but near the children's club. The accommodation was excellent although there were a lot of stairs so had the watch the toddler! The kids' club was good although we didn't leave our children there but were able to make use of the facilities. The hotel is mostly what you would expect in that the service and food were good. The beach is lovely but you have to take a lift to get to it which was a bit of a faff.

The children's village is "well-equipped" and run by "caring staff" and "everyone seemed to either be playing golf or have kids so there were lots of English playmates of all ages". The beach is "stunning and empty" with a cool glass elevator for access, but the sea is cold and can be rough, so you may end up by the pools. Accommodation is spacious and comfortable: "our town house was bigger than our London flat!" and the service " exceptional". Don't bother sightseeing though, the local area is "hideous" and "at this price you'll want to get your money's worth from the resort!"

NB Mumsnet top tip: "Everything costs a lot in the hotel but there's a restaurant further along the beach (to the left if your back's to the sea) which is great for a good budget fish dinner".
